Steps Along Your Brightstone Path

1. Verification of benefits

The first step in this process is to perform a verification of benefits for your insurance to make sure that you have coverage for ABA services and determine if there is a cost associated with services.

2. Collection of necessary documentation

We will collect the documents that are required for your specific insurance to obtain authorization for ABA. This may include the Autism Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation, referral or letter of medical necessity, and IEP.

3. Clinical Call

Once documents are collected, you will complete a clinical call with our Director of Clinical Services. This call will be approximately 15-30 minutes and allows us to assess your child’s individual needs, give an estimated number of hours of ABA that is medically necessary, determine service delivery location, and ensure we are the right fit for your family.

4. Request initial assessment authorization

Once a clinical call is completed and it is deemed medically necessary to move forward with services, we will then request authorization for an initial assessment from your insurance company.

5. Initial Assessment

Once we receive approval, we will then schedule your initial assessment with your BCBA/BCaBA.

6. Plan of Care meeting

After the initial assessment is complete, your BCBA/BCaBA will write up your plan of care and review with you.

7. Submit for ongoing authorization

We will then submit the plan of care to your insurance for ongoing services.

8. Staffing

While we wait for approval, we begin working on finding a dedicated RBT to staff your child’s therapy.

9. Start of services

Once approved and a staff member is hired, we begin services!
